UK outsourcing challenges offshoring as firms’ favourite

Pinsent Masons has deliberately cut staff numbers in the regions, and managed to keep a lid on this because they went down the compromise agreement route. At the same time, its London staff (who often fall short of their billing and time targets) emerged unscathed, all because the firm wanted to protect its delicate foothold in the London market. I don’t think that they should be included within the onshore outsourcing group, especially as they were unable to see what an asset it would be with the imminent changes due to be adopted by the UK legal industry (ABS etc), and over invested in their London presence.
